"I assume that this place operates in a different way in Winter and Summer because the restaurant and reception were closed during our stay and it was very unclear whether they were operating a breakfast service or not.
I did not realise when I booked that the reception is (apparently) only staffed until 6pm. I emailed the hotel to say we would be later than that, but received no reply. We arrived to find the front door bolted and no sign of anyone around.
Eventually I thought to look in my emails and discovered a message from them with instructions for how to get in via the lockbox.
The room was lovely and had a great view.
Only coffee was provided in the room, tea would have been very welcome.
The room was very, very hot. We turned the heating off.
We stayed for a weekend and saw no staff apart from a cleaner and a server at breakfast. We ordered Sunday breakfast in advance by email as requested, but papers in the room suggested there was no breakfast service. Then on Sunday they were doing breakfast. It was all a bit confusing.
The parking is on-street unless you manage to bag one of their three spaces and the street is very popular.
All in all it felt like a very hands-off operation - more like an AirBnB than a hotel."
